E. S. Fein writes science fiction about broken worlds, unreliable gods, weaponized evolution, and people stubborn enough to argue with reality itself. When he is not destroying civilization, rearranging consciousness, or inventing new reasons to fear the stars, he is probably reading something equally unsettling.

Lord's Lament by E.S. Fein
"Okay. I need a second. I genuinely had to set my reader down, walk outside, and stare up at the sky for a while before I could type a single coherent word. Because Lord's Lament isn't just the best book in this series so far. It's the one where I fin" Read more of this review »

“Fatherfucker!” Myriam roared at the beast.”
E.S. Fein, Mendel's Ladder

“This is the way of humanity. It has always been this way. A cycle of golden age, recession, depression, revolution, expansion, and eventually another golden age before it all falls apart again. Ad infinitum.

In every human there is a want for more. A need for more. It is exactly that drive for more that allowed our species to crawl out of the primordial wilds. And it is exactly that want and need that drives me to ascension.

Were Astrea intended to last forever, it too would undergo the natural cycle of societal creation and destruction and would eventually fall to ruin, just as every human society of the past was eventually crippled and destroyed by humanity’s inherent failures.

But Astrea is a temporary refuge. A transient bastion that serves to buy me just enough time.

Time enough to break the cycle forever.”
E.S. Fein, Mendel's Ladder

“Back to the original reality we left somehow?” Amero said, hoping Yang really would leave him in this moment. Every second spent wasted talking about the Points and the damn machines was time he could be lapping up sunlight. But Amero admitted to himself that it was worse than just a mere loss of time; talking about such matters felt like the grating of steel on steel repeatedly echoing in the unreachable depths of his mind.

“We never left the original reality, Amero. We changed it. We reshaped our reality like a potter heating and reshaping a previously completed clay vase. I go now to the world outside the clay vase...to the world of the very intentions which guide the potter’s hands.”

Amero thought of Dave suddenly. “Outside the universe?”
E.S. Fein, Points of Origin

“I don't think there is inherent meaning to life but the one that you decide to make for yourself. In that sense, I have decided my meaning of life is to have a positive contribution to humanity, to be a good friend and partner and to try to become a better person over time.”
Philipp Dettmer

“your immune system is also not a singular thing. It is a complex and interconnected collection of hundreds of bases and recruitment centers all over your body.”
Philipp Dettmer, Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive - from YouTube's KURZGESAGT IN A NUTSHELL

“It would be very hard for you to live a happy life if you were covered in wiggling, buzzing tiny crabs that you could never get rid of.”
Philipp Dettmer, Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive

“To see the awful things is to see life as it really is. It makes you sharper, stronger, superior. You can stand it when others cannot.”
Greg Bear, Quantico

“When all hopes are lost, only then does reality acquire that sharp focus that defines who we are and what we have become.”
Greg Bear, Halo: Primordium
